There is at least one former Spur who believes LeBron James should bring his talents to San Antonio after this season.

While on Fox Sports' "First Things First" on Wednesday, ex-Spur Stephen Jackson said The King should choose the Spurs over the Lakers during free agency.

"I like San Antonio," Jackson said. "Because he's never played with a coach like Gregg Popovich. I think he's never played with a great defender like Kawhi Leonard. And the way LaMarcus Aldridge is playing right now, I think Pau (Gasol) can help them (too). The team they have with Popovich at the helm, I think LeBron would be great there."
